NCT ID NCT02323100

First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tested whether adding glycerol phenylbutyrate (Ravicti) to standard pancreatic enzyme therapy could improve chloride transport in the nasal cells of adults with cystic fibrosis. Only 16 people enrolled, and the study was terminated before completion. The goal was to see if the combination could help correct the underlying CF defect, but results are limited due to early stopping.
